Hunting part 2..Home Coming

Generally the hunters returned home with plenty of meat, they announced their arrival  with songs, generally known as Nyimbo za " Maaalate"(hunting songs)
  as they rowed their Canoes slowly in the river: They would sing:
      Song
   Leader: Ooooooo Nguuuo Kadza na Kamwemweee
                Ooooooo Nguuuo Dambala  Kamwemweee
                Oooo Hi ha! X2
   Leader: Nguu Ni Mkala -
        Group :hoyaye
     Leader: Kadza na Kamwemwe-
Group.:  hoyaye hoyaye yaaa Nguoo Dambala Kamwe mwee
    (Basically This song is explaining how the Hippopotamus charged at them with a lot of anger.)etc.

As They sang, they beat the drums, blew their horns...back in the Village the Celebrations begin as the Villagers assembled at the river bank singing and dancing rejoicing to welcome the successful hunters..,they would dance "Miri"," Kitoko"Kupfanga"Gangana"  to mention a few what a Celebration men, women, children nobody was left out
Sometimes it would go own the whole night till dawn.

Kitoko

As for the  man  who was the first to spear the animal..
if he was married, the Villagers would sing:

 "Mwana mchiwa,....Kayaga
 Mwana mchiwa,.. ,Kayaga". etc. ( meaning ..the young orphan has killed, the orphan has killed)

And if he was a still a bachelor, they would sing:

"Kayume Leleee Kayume Leleee
Kayume Kachuchu Kayume Leleee
Kanjia ziwani, kayaga Nyama".

( meaning the young man went into the lake, killed an animal and brought us some meat)

And all through, these men would be wearing the tail of the animal around their necks as they celebrated.

Kupfanga

About the Dance.

This is A typical African Kenyan Pokomo Dance.for those who don't know may think these wemon are crazy but not really. It's the tradition of the Pokomo Women to dance this dance which is traditionally called ' Kupfanga' or Kungika' and it's only danced by wemon to celebrate the birth of a newly born baby and the Mother being welcomed to motherhood.
As they dance they shout.screem.touch their bodies expressing the Pain they passed through during labour time... in short they are saying The pain.oooh the pain my back was aching ,My stomach was paining others show the legs others touch the head the screeming is like telling the otherone nooooooo yours wasn't as painfully but yes mine was😄etc.
The Pokomos are one of the Bantu speakers and one of the minority tribes found in Kenya they live along the 'Tana river'.Enjoy the dance.& Welcome to Kenya
